Lyrics

What am I living for
If not for you?
What am I living for
If not for you?
What am I living for
If not for you?
Oh, nobody else
Nobody else will do
What am I longing for
Each lonely night?
To feel your lips to mine
To hold you tight
You'll be the only girl
My whole life through
Oh, nobody else
Nobody else will do
I want you close to me
That's all I know
I want you all the time because
Darling, I love you so
What am I living for
If not for you?
What am I living for
If not for you?
What am I living for
If not for you?
Baby, nobody else
Nobody else will do
What am I living for
If not for you?
Darling, nobody else
Nobody else will do
Oh, nobody else
Nobody else will do
